"Just hold my hand baby. Look at my eyes." It took all of my strength for my hand to meet his, and even more for my eyes. "You will always be my dandelion. And I will always wish for you." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Avis Brookes lives in a small town with a not so small family. Her life was, well, your average life. She had a handful of friends, an okay relationship with her family, and passing grades. Leukemia hits. And it hits hard. Avis lost everything she loved, and she struggled not to loose herself too.
